David - for clarity, my last wasn't meant in any way to be critique. As to the img tag issue, your suggestion it might be permission is sensible but I can't see any settings in the admin panel that suggest such problem. Although no one can upload files/images to the forum there is nothing - no setting - stopping linking to online resources as URLs ('url' tag) or embedded images ('img' tag)

I can't see anything stopping users posting images in posts. I think the only limitation is the img tags must enclose a full valid URL - which yours looks to be. FWIW, the tags names aren't case-sensitive.

Odd. Oh well, at least URLs seems to work. Thanks for the feedback though

I tried to create a shared folder, but it asks for an Email address. I don't have one for you or the forum so obviously I'm not understanding. Maybe we should forget worrying about this and wait for the new forum to start working.

I went to the new forum, and may be putting up images is going to be more friendly for a non-tech person. The form itself certainly looks much nicer.

I love the description of the group for the application. "For people who have forgotten what they did last year." That's me. I gave up last year. So I'm trying to forget that experience, and start all over again.

I wanted to post a photo and couldn't follow David's directions. Not his problem. I am just ignorant. Anxious to begin the new forum.

This issue is not driving me nuts, so I think I will just drop it until I get more basic problems solved. Thank-you for trying Mark. Some people just don't get it very easily. I have other better qualities than messing with the computer. I always think, maybe the light will go on tomorrow.

don't be too harsh on yourself. Lots of things aren't obvious after the fact. 12+ years of writing public hypertext for others has pushed to the realsie it's only vaguely right when people stop saying they can't find what they need (actually: don't recognise what they see). It's certainly changed my approach to writing hypertext and informed my current PhD studies.

The new forum's up but I'm not who's supposed to be using it - why not drop an email to Eastgate if you want to get an account set up?
